You step off the minivan into a humid chorus of river and rainforest; the air tastes of wet earth and roasted coffee. The road from Baños climbs and folds, revealing plunging falls that dare you to come closer and a carved rock face that stares back like a weathered guardian. This is a day built around water — waterfalls that thunder, cable cars that cross curtains of spray, and a swing that makes the valley drop away beneath your feet.
